Abi, out of curiosity, I checked if my own publications were in the Sci-Hub database and the first three DoI numbers I entered were there; there is a possibility that all of them are there. No wonder Elsevier took her to court! I never knew this existed. Looking at the Sci-Hub data dump, Indian-origin researchers have downloaded considerably from this site. This is probably the first time hacktivism has benefited academia. I'm pretty sure the publishers are not happy. I wonder how some of our librarian friends feel about this - might be a good topic to go over a meal. This Sci-Hub thing reminds me of Aaron Swartz, the kid that downloaded the entire JSTOR database and following a federal indictment, unfortunately committed suicide.

I have a side comment: the name Elbakyan. I first misread it as Ekalavyan (the Mahabharata Character as we call it in Tamil). They are sort of anagrams (well, at least the bengali version 'eklabyan' is). Similarly, the name Sarkisian (also from the former Soviet bloc) anagrams to Sasikiran. Then there are similar sounding ones such as Abrahamyan and Subrahmanyan, etc.
